Ameesha Patel collapses on film set

Ameesha Patel is reported to be convalescing in hospital after collapsing on the set of her new film.

The 35-year-old star was shooting in Hyderabad when she suffered the fainting spell, and was taken to hospital.

A source revealed to Mid Day: "Ameesha just collapsed while on the set. Crew members instantly took her to a hospital where she was put on an intravenous drip."

The actress recently returned to work after the death of her grandmother.

Patel’s brother, fellow Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel, said: "Yes Ameesha was hospitalized.I think the stress of losing our grandma a few days back and the heat and dust at her shoot in Hyderabad took a toll on her."

Patel has been absent from the industry since a special appearance in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic in 2008.
